The LOVER and His Beloved Bride

~Inspired by the book Song of Solomon.~

He, the Lord and LOVER
My Beloved, I have missed you.
We used to meet beneath the apple tree.
Ohhh! Ahh!
I have enjoyed our chats over grapes and succulent apples...
Breads and cheeses.

She, the Beloved Bride
How my pink wine is collected for you, my LOVE!
May I pour it on your wounds? 
Would it soothe your pain from the cross?

Come to me, my LORD, my LOVER.
Place your hands on my heart 
Here, here...
Set me on fire
Rapture my soul in your LOVE
I am...truly I am
Lovesick for your touch.
Embrace me in your strong arms
Captivate my spirit!

Breathe in me Holy GOD!
Leave no part of me untouched by your Holy Breath!
Let my soul vibrate with your life in me!

Ahh! I am overcome by JOY!

He, the Lord and LOVER
I dance over you, my Beloved
And wildly rejoice at our reunion!
Ahh! Let me baptize your heart again in my holy liquid LOVE!

She, the Beloved Bride
For it is ever all around me!
Hide me in the heart of your song, my LORD, my LOVER
Place me as a seal upon your heart
Immerse me in your river of life!

Ohh! JESUS!
Your name alone 
Pauses me
In quiet repose...
